Delivery and Pickup Vehicles Doing Multiple Trips a day.

Eric A. shared this idea 6 years ago
Under Consideration

I'm new to the software and have a question. Can a truck have multiple routes for a day? For example most of my trucks do 2 routes a day, they go out in the morning and then reload up again for afternoon/night. The issue that I'm having is that the packing slips would not be accurate when they are grouped by truck. As of now it groups the items as the whole day and not just morning shifts and afternoon shifts. I feel this would get really confusing for loading. Is there a way to prevent this? Also keep in mind my company does all are deliveries on Thursdays and Fridays and then all the pickups are done Mondays. So the trucks hardly ever go out and drop off the same day and pick up the same day.

Hm... There is not currently a way to do this. We do have the "return to wearhouse" but that is not going to do what you need it to in terms of the load sheet. I'll talk with our team about updating that so if there is a "return to wh" block with setups after it, it only has you loading things before the return then after the return separately

Thanks for the response. I think I may have figured out a solution. I am going to have two vehicles for every truck. So I will name a truck (Truck 1 am ) and the same truck will have a Truck called (Truck 1 pm) that way I will have separate loading lists I would believe. Let me know if you think that would work. I currently use Point Of Rental but I like how you guys have a more online geared approach. So I'm debating on hopping over to your software if I can get it to work out for my needs. Thanks Eric

That would work. We do have users that do this already, but we'll still consider creating a feature in the future to handle this better.

Also is there a way to change the color of each trucks pin on the map. Like for example Truck 1s color is yellow. Truck 2 is red, and Truck 3 is Blue?

Thanks Eric

This is a good idea too. I'll look into it.
